Since the Bombers won a final 

Has there ever been such a fall from grace? The best team in the league to a laughing stock. And they say the Demons culture is no good? Culture and arrogance killed and are continuing to kill this horrible club

Heres to another 20!

    There's another 'streaky' thread might suit this better, Red.

    Although, thankfully, we haven't had to see it for a while, its raison d'être having been progressively and greatly reduced in these recent successful years.

    I remember that Final when they beat us.  We were coming back strongly near the end, less than a goal behind, when Brad Miller gave them a downfield free , leading to the sealer for them.

    Although we lost, this was one of the most electric finals I can remember us playing. When Wrecker Whelan laid that bump (when you could do it) on Hird which lead to Johnstone's running goal at the city end the adrenaline cranked up to 11.

    Pretty sure the 21st is guaranteed even if they make finals next year.

    I'm always uncomfortable slagging off other teams, considering the doldrums we have been in for lengthy periods of time.

    It's probably useful to consider that Individuals within regimes come and go, and the entire edifice of Essendon, particularly post substance use has been reworked from the inside.

    Carry on though... 😎

    It wouldn't be half as much fun if it wasn't for the media pumping them up and inventing new catchphrases for them every single year.

    Maintains the social licence to continue mocking them.

    Appreciate the alternate opinion Mr. Onion.

    However, considering the decades of abuse we’ve copped from bombers fans I think they deserve a bit back. 😊

    Trudat. But their fans were, still are, and always will be the most repugnant, obnoxious uncultured swine. That never changes.

    NEVER FORGET how awful their fans are.  Long may they suffer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
